Basically, I had just finished coding a Twitter bot called @BreakingCasting which posts fake movie remake casting announcements. I really liked using the TMDB API for that so I figured I'd make another small project along the lines of movies/actors/Hollywood until I came up with something more substantive.

I'm pretty sure I came up with this Wow API in the shower and figured it'd be fun and easy - it ended up being fun and tedious. I started working on it on Valentine's Day, finished in early March. The main motivation to finish was my current project, Hollywoodle (https://hollywoodle.ml/), which I refused to start until the Wow API was done.

@BreakingCasting is really cool, congratulations. One suggestion which you are probably already aware: It would be nice if the bot can choose actors of proper age, depending on the difference between the years of the original and the remake. Warren Beatty is older than Harrison Ford, for example!
